South Africa beat Zimbabwe by seven wickets in third ODI

Zimbabwe captain Elton Chigumbura made a solitary stand against a dominant South Africa as the Proteas cruised to a 3-0 series win in the third one-day international in Bulawayo.

Chigumbura made a battling 90 in his side's 171 all out, a mark which South Africa rattled off in just 27.2 overs for the loss of three wickets.

Quinton de Kock continued his rich run of form with 84 in 75 balls to lead the chase, but his efforts were at least matched by Chigumbura's backs-against-the-wall knock.

There were changes in both sides for what was a dead rubber in terms of the series result, the tourists resting skipper AB de Villiers, Hashim Amla and Imran Tahir in favour of Marchant de Lange and debutant pair Rilee Rossouw and Mthokozisi Shezi.
